I've always wondered why everyone says "bullshit." Yes, I've heard "chickenshit" and "horseshit," but "bullshit" seems to always win out. I wonder why that is. Is it because a bull's shit is more voluminous? Or more disgusting than any other animal's shit? "Oh that's just a bunch of bullshit." Everyone says it, but I don't think I've ever in my life actually seen a bull, much less its shit. ...

Can I start a thread on Earthworks. As in, the first self-titled album? I first came across Bruford through a youthful encounter with Yes. Then he did some records with Patrick Moraz (another Yes Alumni) which has jazz elements. Then Earthworks..... I've been playing this one again lately, and I must say I'm once again enjoying it very much. It's a brash affair, quite fast moving,...

I thought it was time for a new twist on an old favorite. We all know therules. I think this will be more fun, though, if we stick to jazz albums.But do what you want!Here goes...Let Freedom Ring

Where did this woman come from? Two years as governor of a state that's smaller than the neighborhood in Brooklyn I grew up in qualifies this woman to potentially run the greatest superpower this world has known? And she's being investigated for abuse of power for firing state troopers and police chiefs? And then she was apart of an Alaskan succession cult? Now I'm hearing the Down Syndrome ...

There has been an ongoing debate in my country, Norway, about the evolution of jazz music (or at least, they call the outcome jazz) during the last few years. There is one jazz musician, a fantastic vibraphonist and vocalist who has had several of his articles published in the newspapers. These articles adress this subject, because at "jazz festivals" around here, the programs consists of ...

Open for business. On my CD player tonight Brown Sugar - Freddie Roach. Wow! This was just unexpectedly good! Jo + Jazz - Jo Stafford with a small band that includes Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Ray Nance, Conte Candoli, Jimmy Rowles or Russ Freeman, Don Fagerquist, and Mel Lewis. This was as good as expected.

The final quarter of 2008 is ready to begin. I made a shopping trip to Amoeba & Rasputin's in Berkeley today, but it's late so the results of that expedition will have to be posted tomorrow.

I'm a high school guitarist/bassist planning on getting a small combo together to play at the homecoming dance at my school. If I can't find a good bass player at my school, I'll have to play bass, that being said, there are no jazz pianists at my school either. That pretty much boils down to having 1-2 horns, a bass, and drums. How would that sound? I've heard some jazz combos ...

I should really know better than to mess the the general music discussion forum. Anyway, on a discussion forum on a drummer's website the question was asked "If you had to pick one song that best defined jazz for a person who didn't know anything about the music, which song would you choose?" Now this is a site mostly populated my rock drummers, very nice guys and a lot of whom are interested ...

i am breaking a vow of silence to respond to philoxenos, as well as to see, as an experiment in web mechanics, whether or not a thread that i initiate will either: 1) be of interest to anyone at all, other than me, 2) become as voluminous as the maj7b5 thread that hasn't brought up that topic in a very long time, 3) die a horrible death due to either a complete lack of interest, or ...

Now this is a site mostly populated my rock drummers, very nice guys and a lot of whom are interested in the music. But there are a few who insist that anything can be jazz, for obvious reasons...
